This study aimed to describe the clinical, radiological, biomechanical, electromyographic, and histoenzymologic modifications in the "Gastrocnemius-Achilles Tendon-Calcaneus complex" caused by percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening (PATL) versus Vulpius Achilles tendon lengthening (VATL) in New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits.
